Chapter-1, Verse 19

Ashtavakra Gita Verse 1.19

यथैवादर्शमध्यस्थे रूपेऽन्तः परितस्तु सः। तथैवास्मिन् शरीरेऽन्तः परितः परमेश्वरः॥१९॥ 

19. Just as a mirror exists inside and outside the image reflected in it, so the Supreme Self exists inside and outside this body. 

Although during meditation one meditates upon the spiritual centre as a point within himself, when he withdraws himself from all the agitations created by his matter vestures and apprehends this seat of Consciousness within, he awakes to realise the boundless state of the infinite Self. The eternal Self, infinite and unconditioned, is ever present everywhere, both within and without. In fact, the very idea of inside and outside is only with reference to the meditator's body awareness. As a matter of fact when you are asleep, what is your dimension? Where is your location? When the body is not perceived, the concepts of within and without are no longer valid. 

With reference to a room, or a pot, we can qualify space as space within and space without. But when the pot is broken or the walls are pulled down, there can be only one all-pervading space. Similarly, the seeker, so long as he is within his conditionings, he meditates upon his Self, as the pure Subject within himself. But on apprehending the Self, he experiences Its all-pervading infinite nature.
